Students in grades 5–12, who have volunteered in the community in the past 12 months, are eligible to apply for a 2014 Prudential Spirit of Community Award. The online application is open through November 5, 2013 and may be found at spirit.prudential.com or www.nassp.org/spirit. Paper applications are also available by calling 877-525-849.

Students must complete an online or paper application and submit it to your school’s principal.

State-level Honorees will be announced in February; they will each receive an all-expenses-paid trip to Washington, D.C, in May, where America's top 10 youth volunteers of the year will be revealed.

Okay all of you wonderful student volunteers. APPLY NOW! This can generate some positive publicity for AVHS and our students.
